Bay of Plenty iwi Ngati Whare will sign a full and final settlement of its Treaty claims at Murumurunga marae on Tuesday.
Tribal members are gathering at Murumurunga marae at the edge of the Whirinaki Forest Park to welcome Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson.
Iwi chair James Carlson says the tribe's commercial redress was wrapped up in last year's Central North Island forestry settlement.
He told Waatea News that the activities will focus on cultural redress, including a Crown Apology for breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi during and after the Land Wars of the 19th century.
He said it's "the beginning of finding Ngati Whare's own destiny".
Mr Carlson said the settlement will acknowledge Ngati Whare's unique relationship with the Whirinaki forest.
It also includes funds for replanting parts clear-felled by the Forest Service in the 1980s.
